Is Your Old iPhone Worth Anything? Here's How to Find Out

TheiPhone 7 will likely be unveiled this September, and if you're interested in upgrading, you might want to sell your current model. But how much is it worth? You have a few options for evaluating your iPhone's value and selling it — that aren't Craigslist.

Trade it in to Apple

If you're looking to upgrade to another iPhone, you can trade in your current iPhone at an Apple store or via mail. Depending on what model iPhone you have and its condition, Apple could give you between $50 and $250.

You can answer a series of questions to get an estimate of how much your phone is worth. Those questions include: "Is the device free from obvious signs of liquid contact?" and "Are the buttons in good working condition?"

There is a chance Apple will say your iPhone is not eligible. When I answered the questions about my iPhone 6, for instance, I was told Apple wouldn't pay me any money for it, but I was welcome to recycle it through the company's recycling program.
